How long do I need to keep my exwife’s propertyclothes, shoes and other personal items?

The Divorce was finalized Dec. 4th of 2018.

It was not in the divorce agreement when she
had to have it removed. I have asked her to
come and get it multiple time.

Send her something in writing, sent some way you can prove delivery, stating what she has at your house and restating or summarizing your attempts to have her remove it. State she has thirty days to retrieve it or you will drop it off at her home. State firmly that you have not agreed to store or keep it for her or to be responsible for it.
Repeat with a 15-day warning.
Then if she stlll doesn't come and get it, drop it off at her home and text or email her (so you have a written record) of when you did and where you left it. Take photographs showing how you left it for her and where.
